Just a quick question - how much space does everyone's Steam folder take
up on their HD?  mine takes up a whopping 9GB .. which is a bit annoying
since the partition on which it is installed is only 10GB (I assumed a
couple of years ago when I installed it that 10GB would be ...

I've just logged back onto Steam for the first time after quite a long
absence. It looks like I'll need quite a few updates to get me current.
Is there an easy way to do this all at once (so it can happen while I sleep)
instead of having to let each individual game update as it's ...

I was looking at HL2 on Ebay and I wondered if there are any pit-falls.
I don't quite understand this Steam malarkey - does it mean that a steam
account is only valid for the original purchaser of the game, or can it be
used by another purchaser?

Damn, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water....
This bitch is projected for Galveston-Houston as a Cat 4 or possible
Cat 5... Think of all these poor devils who just escaped from Katrina
here in Houston... At least we're 50 feet above sea level but

Well, it appears that you have to buy the HL2 Gold or Silver editions
through Steam in order to have AND play DoD: Source.  I used my HL1 original

I've played all the way through, and am at the end of the final sequence.
After trying a number of times to finish it, and getting the message about
"failing time-critical sequence", I finally went and looked at a
walkthrough.

So I decided to bite the bullet and preorder DoD:S.  I already have it
precached (or whatever they call it) on my system, but I wasn't going
to be able to play it anyway.
So I go to purchase it through Steam, everything is going well.  I

Off-line steam has worked fine for me for months. Now it fails with the
following error message:

Not buying it but did think I'd look at status etc to see how busy Steam is
tonight.  Couldn't get 'news' 'forums' etc.  I guess it's saturated.  May be
one or two folk disappointed tonight trying to get their games unlocked?
Good luck to em anyway...

the proper pc game model example
publishers are trying to impose new models for pc games, models
that damage pc gamers and favour publishers so we have to start

Ever since the recent steam/hl2 upgrade, I have been getting the above
error message when joining a server. It doesn't happen all the time
mind, after a couple of crashes, it usually allows me to join.
I've tried all the usual, restarting steam/system etc....

The news page says it will be released... "Day of Defeat: Source
launch that will happen Monday, September 26 at 3:00 PDT."
3.00?  Is that 3am or 3pm?  If 3 am it's already late.

Never having played it does DOD have bots?
Will DOD:Source have bots?
Never did enjoy playing with the 12yr olds on-line (especially if they're
better than me).  If there are no bots and the game has to sit unused on the
